Link Shelves

Shelves are the backbone in retail – and should always be optimized.

In most normal stores, shelves accounts for approximately 75% of all sales, so one of the main components of any successful retail store is how the shelves are arranged. There are basically two key aspects to any shelf:

1.Range. What is the perfect number SKU’s in a shelf? Most shelves have much to many different products stacked in a limited space

2.Merchandising. Presenting your products in a way that is visually appealing while also simultaneously generating sales interest

Both are vital yet hard to master. The use of technology in order to modernize this aspect of retail has proven to be extremely valuable.

What do you want with you shelves?

Shelving is more than just having your goods distributed in a convenient manner. Rather, it is a strategic process that seeks to achieve one or more goals.

What do you want to get out of your shelves?

The first of these goals is to increase gross sales. Arrange your shelves to sell as much as possible. Generally, this means a focus on bestsellers to ensure that the needs of the shopper are met.

Another potential outcome of shelving is to increase gross profit margins. Make sure that more expensive, premium products are out at the forefront to catch the attention of customers. It also helps make it smoother to sell to people who regularly buy more expensive products.

The third objective is usually to optimize the number of items sold. We call this to use certain products to increase traffic to a shelf -or to a certain sector in the store.

 

Link Shelves will normally achieve a minimum of +2% sales increase!

  • the bestsellers and their deployment in such a way to maximize their potential sales volume and

  • the hot zones so retailers will know in which sections of the store the customers are gravitating to the most.

Products are then deployed in such a manner that moves the bestsellers to these highly trafficked zones, leading to more sales volume and higher profits.

Data shows that a bestselling product sells at a whopping rate of between 500-1500% more than that of lesser-known products. Retailers must definitely leverage this in order to improve the profitability and health of their retail business.

Sales promotions can be a very profitable undertaking when correctly deployed. They will entice consumers to flock to your store and buy more products than they usually would.

The use of data analysis and statistics in order to create sustainable and profitable sales promotions will succeed in creating leverage over other competitors in the retail space.

Understanding Best Sellers

The bulk of the sales generated at your store will be from a select group of products. Perfect Promotion will aid in identifying these heavy movers and allow for the building of sales promotions either with or around them.

For example, this could bring up the sales of a lagging item when packaged together in a promotion with a shoppers favorite one.

In addition, the data gathered by Perfect Promotion helps in finding the highest-selling places within the store.

These hot zones of activity are extremely valuable when leveraged correctly.

Putting products on sale and then positioning them in those high activity areas is a surefire way to guarantee that the accompanying promotion will be a success.

  • Best Selling Products

  • Best Selling Places

  • Best selling Prices​

  • Best combination of products ​

  • Based on historical results

  • Promo frequency

For sales promotions, Perfect Promotions will normally achieve a minimum of​ 15% sales increase

Using Technology To Find Price Points

One of the most important aspects of running a promotion is deciding what to price the promoted products.

  • If the discount is not significant enough, then consumers will not be properly excited and there will be no real uptick in sales.

  • Likewise, pricing too low will cut into the profit margins of the store.

Thankfully, the A.I. learning of Perfect Promotion uses advanced technology to identify the optimum price point that will both drive interest yet sustain profitability.
